C E Ferulic is a fussy, dramatic serum—and it's definitely not for everyone.

With high concentrations of ascorbic acid, high solvent levels, and a very low pH, some skin types may prefer a different approach to vitamin C.

In this video, we share three of our favorite vitamin C alternatives:

THD Ascorbate — a good option when used at the right amount and backed by good testing.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) — relatively less fussy, with some interesting data around oily, acne-prone skin.
Gold Stabilized Vitamin C — a category of its own, with a different concentration and mechanism than typical vitamin C derivatives.

So if C E Ferulic doesn't work for you, don't worry—you don't need to have vitamin C FOMO.

Which vitamin C derivative are you using?
